The shooter who killed three people and injured 14 others before being shot dead by law enforcement at Excel Industries in Hesston, Kansas, was identified by local media as Cedric Larry Ford, an employee of Excel.

Ford has a criminal history in both Harvey County, Kansas and Broward County, Florida where he is originally from, according to online court records.

Back in December of 2010 in Harvey County, he was arrested on charges of parole violation, domestic battery, drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, traffic violations and theft, though it is unknown if he was convicted. In Florida, he was convicted of fleeing police, battery, and grand theft.

Following the updates, Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton hosted a second press conference shortly after 9:00 pm, telling reporters that there was still "a lot of things we have to do," but also providing new confirmed counts of victims.

Fifteen people were shot in the Excel building, one shot outside in the parking lot, and off the premises in two separate areas two others were shot. Before arriving to the Excel building, the shooter was driving from the town Newton, where he fired on two other vehicles, hitting one person.

In an earlier news conference, Sheriff Walton said the FBI would conduct an investigation.
